Hi There,

We just released a new version of the game with the following features and bug fixes:

1. Hire to work in multiple farms: The farm selector window when hiring others now have 2 tabs to either quickly 'Select One Farm' or to 'Select Multiple Farms'. If you select multiple farms, when the employee navigate to your farms the green farm selector on top will be shown highlighting only the farms where the employee can work.

Notice that the game only make sure that there is work available on the first farm selected, so make sure you select your farms accurately so the employee don't waste time navigating to farms where there is nothing to do.

2. Drive Thru System (FC): This tool allows you to Start All productions for a product with one click on any of the 8 Fast Food Restaurants:

12. Other Improvements and Bug fixes:

- Once you sell any log pile or use it in facilities, the Axe tutorial will never show up again

- When you work in your neighbours facilities and going from one facility to the next there is no extra confirmation message
- The open or close status of your extended tool box is now saved permanently so you don't have to open it all the time
- When hired for multiple jobs and clicking the toolbox icon, the extended version of the tool box will always be displayed
- When you click in a tool on the extended toolbox the toolbox hides immediately
- If you are hired and have issues working in the farm or with the network connection, you can now click on the highlighted (current) farm icon in the farm selector to reload the current farm. You will remain hired after the reload.
- You should experience far less X025 errors when moving animals from animal buildings into your farm

There are no check boxes in Non-ingredients. Those are only in from Facilities.

What do you mean that you are losing fuel?

I will not pay anything to FB in order to play a game I am willing to pay outright. I was quite happy with paying using PayPal but since that is no longer an option I won't be buying any more FarmTown cash either.

Love all of the other options though!

Even though I have friends helping me my facilities are rarely at zero (except for silly taco stand). Are you saying that if I don't post for workers I will be able to max my textile mills?

I also used to have sheep and llamas roaming but it brought my game to a halt so now they are all penned.

Yes if no friends help empty it out its easy to max the textile mills out. Youll need 1 or 2 more full wool sheds than you have textmills to do this but yes its possible. I max every item in all 8 of my textile mills daily
